Saturday Night Dirt

In a small town in Northern Minnesota, the much-anticipated Saturday night dirt-track race at the old-fashioned, barely viable, Headwaters speedway becomes, in many ways, an important life-change ever for all the participants on and off the track.

Beretta Xtrema2

Beretta has introduced a new "bad boy" into its inventory and it is called the Xtrema2!  This baby is gas-operated, auto-loading capability, and is deemed to have the most recoil reduction feature over any other shotgun around! Add an extended magazine to this beast and it can shoot 12 shells in 2 seconds. These “bad boys” cost any where from $1250 to $1400 not including the extended magazine. It has a Kick-Off technology recoil system. The way it sounds this would be a pretty good gun to own. It makes me want to go buy one and put the extended magazine on it for hunting quail.
